Fox is calling the MD Senate race for Ben Cardin over Michael Steele. I hope that doesn’t play out, but it seems like Steele wasn’t able to pull it off. This was another one of the GOP’s long shot races, so it doesn’t change the balance of power much.
Still, this is going to be a long night for the Republicans.
There are still 200,000 absentee ballots that won’t be counted tonight. Steele is not only currently ahead as of 9:40 eastern, but gaining on Cardin. This is a premature call. Even the exit polls are good news for Steele. Hold off on the champagne.
